A view of the courtyard of the cloisters at Canterbury Cathedral. Built in the Gothic syle, an arcade of pointed arches line the perimeter of the couryard. Below the arch, a series of four colonettes create another arcade that spans the width of each of the main arches. Quatrefoils in a honeycomb pattern surmount the colonette arcade. The gable above the main arch contains a quatrefoil design, while the the peak rises above the roof line.
